When generating the package lists, the responsibility to decide what is actually a package symbol is currently split between the _is_package(), the get_symbol_subset() and the format_asciidoc_table() functions. The two latter functions check that an item is really a symbol, and that is has a prompt. While this is currently correct for real packages, this will no longer be the case when we also generate a list of virtual packages, since they do not have a prompt. Move the responsibility to verify that a symbol is indeed a package symbol to _is_package(), so it's all in one place, and makes it easier to change for virtual packages. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) Use your shiny new root filesystem. Depending on which sort of root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it, chroot into it, nfs mount it on your target device, burn it to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system. You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Offline build: ============== In order to do an offline-build (not connected to the net), fetch all selected source by issuing a $ make source before you disconnect. If your build-host is never connected, then you have to copy buildroot and your toplevel .config to a machine that has an internet-connection and issue "make source" there, then copy the content of your dl/ dir to the build-host. Building out-of-tree: ===================== Buildroot supports building out of tree with a syntax similar to the Linux kernel. To use it, add O=<directory> to the make command line, E.G.: $ make O=/tmp/build And all the output files (including .config) will be located under /tmp/build. More finegrained configuration: =============================== You can specify a config-file for uClibc: $ make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config And you can specify a config-file for busybox: $ make BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE=/my/busybox.config To use a non-standard host-compiler (if you do not have 'gcc'), make sure that the compiler is in your PATH and that the library paths are setup properly, if your compiler is built dynamically: $ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3.orig HOSTCXX=gcc-4.3-mine Depending on your configuration, there are some targets you can use to use menuconfig of certain packages. This includes: $ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 linux-menuconfig $ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 uclibc-menuconfig $ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 busybox-menuconfig Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
